I so needed this right now. I give thanks to Leah over at Diaries of a Domestic Goddess for this cool award.



This rules of the award are as follows: Post the badge on your site and link back to Maternal Spark. Tag 5 of your bloggy friends who have sparked creativity, conversation, controversy and friendships!

That's it, it's easy to spread the sparky love so go on...do it!

Here are my 5 choices:

Andrea from Prima Crafty Momma
Mimi from Minxy Mimi Unplugged
Karen from A Blog of Goodies
Sarah from Thoughts From The Toilet Bowl
Toni from A daily Dose of Toni

another award!!! I can't believe this, how awesome!!! This one was given to me by Karen over at A Blog Of Goodies!! She has a great blog, check her out.




In Karen's post she listed 6 things that make her happy, so I would like to do the same.
1) My kids playing together nicely.
2) A day I can sleep in.
3) Dh being home and not working out of state.
4) A day visiting or shopping with my mom.
5) A good hair day.
6) Chocolate

Here are 6 creative bloggers I would like to pass this award on to.

1) Rachael @ Following in My Shoes
2) Kim @ What's That Smell
3) Trisha @ Sweet N' Sassy Girls
4) Stacey @ Havoc and Mayhem
5) Alyson @ 3 P's in a pod
6) Susan @ Life in a House of Blue

I got an award. In fact I got 2!! Now how did that happen?? LOL

The first award, I got from Susan G. (my twin lol) over at Life in a House of Blue.

Here's the translation of the award and the meaning behind it:
“This blog invests and believes, in ‘proximity’ [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' - being close through proxy] "They are all charming blogs, and the majority of them aim to show the marvels of friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, or that they propagate?"Then let’s try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to eight bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text.”

Here are the eight bloggers of my choosing......
1) Rachael @ Miles away in France
2) Mimi @ Minxy Mimi Unplugged
3) Wendi @ Crazy World of an Alaskan Mom
4) Moo @ Moo Musings
5) tcalamity @ tcalamity
6) Tena @ Punky Monkeys
7) Kris @ Nunc Scio Quit sit Amor
8) Leah @ Diaries of a Domestic Goddess



Now on to award #2!! I received this Award from Trisha over at Sweet N' Sassy Girls

Here is how the Brilliant Weblog Award works . . .

The person giving the award chooses blogs that they consider brilliant in their content or design. In return, the recipient is expected to choose a minimum of seven blogs that they like. They leave comments on these blogs to notify the winners. They then post about receiving the award on their blog (like this) and list their choices with links. They also include a mention of whom they received the award and include a link. Pictures are great, but not necessary.

There are a few awards going around today so I hope I am not repeating anyone who has already gotten this award today.

Here is my list of brilliant bloggers
1) Bridgette @ The Not so Blog, Blog
2) Lindsey @ Mommy Chronicles
3) Andrea @ Prima Crafty Momma
4) Jenn @ My kids are my World
5) Bonnie @ Thrifty Momma Ramblings
6) Lisa @ Crazy adventures in Parenting
7) Jess @ Nothing but Purple
